There might not be a more athletic couple in American sports than Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton. The Washington Spirit and USWNT star and the two-time reigning Canadian Open men's tennis champion have been together since early 2025 and are regularly seen supporting each other in action.
This week, Rodman appeared on Kylie Kelce's "Not Gonna Lie" podcast, where she revealed that her and Shelton's love story has a typically modern beginning. The two met online, with the 24-year-old Rodman making the first move.
"Everything I do is just embarrassing. I'm really embarrassed," a laughing Rodman told Kelce. "I said 'You're sick, fire emoji…It worked. He responded within 10 minutes, so I win."
"Our schedules were just so crazy, that we DM'd and we're just catching up," she continued. "He responded and was like 'Yeah, you were sick at the Olympics too, haha.' He matched the cringe situation and then one week later, we met in person."
Their first in-person meeting didn't occur at a coffee shop or restaurant or any of your customary locations. Instead, the 23-year-old Shelton "flew out" to spend the weekend with Rodman at her house.
